The organisation representing Catholic bishops in England and Wales is warning that a new British policy on immigration is downplaying the important contribution made to the country by “low-wage, low-skilled” immigrants.
On Tuesday, 20 May, Bishop Paul McAleenan – the Lead Bishop for Migrants and Refugees for the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales – urged the government to carefully consider its approach to so-called “low-skilled work”, which is often carried out by those who come from other countries.It follows the announcement of the Labour government's new immigration measures the week before.
